    its quite true : cherry tomatoes can be grown that are very sweet. ' Gardners Delight ' https://www.burpee.com/tomato-gardeners-delight-prod001179.html is the only ' very small ' tomato that has decent Big Boy or Better Girl flavors try the can out and see .

    Cherry tomatoes have always had less tomato flavor that regular sized to my taste , Ive never had them canned . would be interesting to try ?

    @Anna N Ive used this method several times in the past. its Part II of Madaleine Kamman's duck in two courses : breast first, then leg you put the leg and its skin on a rack over about 1 " of water. very important . 425 F or possibly 450 F. the duck fat will drip thus the water pan or it would burn . you do get a little smoke after 45 min or so . lightly coat the skin w a marmalade , etc of your choice then back in the over , watching carefully for marmalade burning then done. difficult to wait for cool down. often burnt moth the skin is like a softer textured cracking . very crunchy , medium density where pork skin is full density. Id do it more often , but there is some splatter !
  5. electric , hand held mixer old fashioned beaters , not wire beaters done. any texture you like its up to you.
  6. extra work uniform ( less interesting ? ) texture ?
  7. that Deliciousness would be improved if the center well was filled w MiracleWhip. any idea what this is ? Corn Fungus ?
  8. here is the cheese selection @ MyTJ's : note the two cheese's i mentioned , at the bottom L next to that is Saint Andre which I get regularly , as its a 360 day cheese . ages very nicely at home note the single wedge near the bottom , w a reddish label ? its the best Brie there ! beat up looking , delicious ! note the blue labeled ' blue cheese ' Cambozola Creamy , ages well delicious. and , i9m already @ Tj's , so why travel and find Trouble elsewhere ? maybe for This and That , but not good cheese.
  9. I had Laughing Cow once . took forever getting the foil off. and it was in France of all places at a massive store , that sold everything Mammoth ? ( 1980 ) a hypermarket . I had lunch there at their ; canteen a mistake. difficult to do in France.
  10. the cheese I like and get from TJ's is moldy. that's the point as I see it. they do have some small fresh mozzarella little balls . they are not moldy yet still nice .
  11. indeed Formaggio has some excellent cheeses . they do age them carefully , but so do I ! and Formaggio is expensive. pick the stuff y0u like from Tj's , and its 1/2 the price of formaggio its 2/3'ds the price of large supermarkets and Im fine w that. its true Tj's has some Chips that are purple have all sorts of good for you seeds on them but cardboard is tastier. there is a Brie @ Tj'sthey have several . the worst looking slice , turns out to be the most flavorful. I always get one that looks close to the worst. ' Cut to Order ' is nice you do pay for that and its another stop for me , less stops has worked out so far for me.
  12. the wavy works quite well w sweet potato hunks . they don't get gummy. no idea of SP can go through a ricer. Ive not found ricing russets helpful and an extra step.
  13. I have two ' wavies ' Oxo circa 2010 or so , and my mothers , circa pre-WWII I got an Oxo w the circular holes , and didn't care for it as much as either wavy one. however , my favorite potato masher is a hand held electric mixer . it has a button on top that ejects the two ' beaters ' of note here , this delightful device has the blades that are scalloped not just wire. makes a difference id say of course , I first use the hand-held as an actual had masher: just mash right down on those potatoes hopefully steamed russets ( iPot ) that have been cut into large chunks first , but never peeled. then I add the softened butter and give the tots a brief whirl. I had read some time ago that butter on plain coarsely mashed pots gets a fluffier final mash once y0u start adding hot milk. however , to each their own.
  14. the two cheeses I posted about above are ' seasonal ' and my Tj;'s supply is low so I got a few more and put them in the coldest part of my refuge. for later enjoyment.

    Breakfast 2021

    @Steve Irby very nice , I can appreciate the aroma ' Lard ? ' it just depends blocks of hydrogenated lard piggy flavors removed ? that's one thing Fat from a pig carefully, carefully rendered and saved its quite another . a cooking show I watch https://www.itv.com/hub/james-martins-saturday-morning/2a5159 and enjoy a week ago or so he used '' Iberico Pork Fat ' \that came in a jar , and was widely available in local ( higher end ? ) markets I watched this segment w Eagle- ish eyes : https://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/recipes/bangers-with-onion-gravy-and-mash/ https://www.itv.com/hub/james-martins-saturday-morning/2a5159a0172 and for review purposes : the jar : in the pan : this looks ' fat - creamy ' and not hard anyone know what this is ? this type of rendered pork fat perhaps not from Spain would be nice to have for flavor next to the Duck fat ( rendered )
  17. From Amazon , B.F. : nada ! ( so far ) put a small smile on my face

  20. no matter what the APO box stays here. Preventive Medicine should MC realize MC missed something ? Well ........................
  21. @TdeV thank you ! I know , at some time APO will be here and aill more than enjoy it , This and That Its going to be in its own time and I look forward to it.
  22. @Smithy nice . thank you for the menu's
  23. OK another question : lets say the APO , connected to WiFi gets its firmware updated. and an App appears on an iPhone basically to turn on the light ? does the APO have to remain w WiFi to get the light to turn on ? of can an iPhone , w app connect to the APO after the WiFi is replaced in its box , and unplugged ? I might be investing in a nice flash light .... some day.
